That SMRT new MAN bus super shiok, fly highway like fly Ferrari liddat, driver very on. Somemore bus got powerful Denso aircon for hot days like today, so n...

SBS9C SG

1 more bus left, unless they count SMB138Y as part of the order.

SMB138Y is definitely not as part of the orders...

Registered on 3 February 2014

SMB3098J
SMB3099G
SMB3106U
SMB3107S
SMB3108P
SMB3109L
SMB3110G
SMB3111D
SMB3112B
SMB3113Z

Edit: Excluding SMB138Y, all 400 buses are registered/delivered.

I don't think the 400 MANs are enough to see them all - They need atleast 200+ new citaros (250 my estimate) to cover it all.

You will know whether SMRT has purchased more new buses once more buses are registered than expected...or something unusual in you guys' eyes: another lifespan extension to the O405s (not the Volgrens)?

TIB783G SG

But how long are they going to last? another 180 days?

Maybe or directly up to the maximum it can go which is another 1 year? I'm not sure...not every single bus is listed in the tender for scrap...

SMRT is planning to buy 200 MAN NL323F as per bulk order to "replace older buses" at its cost.

carbikebus SG

200?Already counted or to replace the soon deregistered O405s?My goodness A22 again with the lion hair?

SMB145B SG

400 A22s not enough ah?

SBS9C SG

I think I see Lion hair see until sick liao sia. If really want order more please order without the hair.

carbikebus SG

i dun mind if different bodywork and Voith tranny

Gus.chong SG

I think I see Lion hair see until sick liao sia. If really want order more please order without the hair.

Well, I believe that is suppose to be an original feature that must exist on all such bodyworks, otherwise can it still be called 'MAN Lion City's Hybrid'?

carbikebus SG

But the problem is the bus is not even hybrid...

SBS9C SG

Well, I believe that is suppose to be an original feature that must exist on all such bodyworks, otherwise can it still be called 'MAN Lion City's Hybrid'?

Not really, I believe they have a choice for the hybrid or non hybrid design. The non hybrid design was used on the A24 and the B9L, so it is actually possible.

Gus.chong SG

But the problem is the bus is not even hybrid...

I am not talking about the bus, it's the bodywork design that I'm talking about...but never mind, SBS9C has already explained to me the possibility of using non-hybrid bodywork design of MAN on the A22s should SMRT purchase them again.

lemon1974 SG

there are apparently 3 more regoless new MAN Buses in WLBP in new livery...... guess they have bought 500 MAN A22 at least....
